This book was the first to coin the phrase 'Big Brother.' Written in the 1950s this is an apocalyptic view of a future where the truth of the world is controlled by Big Brother who is always watching . The central character finds the regime stifling and try to rebel, but with cameras everywhere, there is no where to hide. This is a frightening tale for a modern audience, especially in the summer when we are glued to our TV screens watching its namesake.
